NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative
The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting awareness, education, and support regarding ovarian cancer. Its mission is to enrich lives through early detection education, patient support services, and funding research for ovarian cancer[4][5].
History and Mission
Established with the goal of improving gynecologic health, the initiative seeks to empower individuals, particularly biologic females, to recognize symptoms of ovarian cancer, assess their risk, and advocate for proper medical care[3]. Since its inception, it has contributed to a decline in the incidence rate of ovarian cancer in its community[1].
Programs and Activities
The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative offers several programs aimed at raising awareness and supporting those affected by ovarian cancer. Key initiatives include:
- Education and Awareness: The initiative provides educational materials and resources to help individuals understand ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors. It also supports continuing education for medical professionals to enhance early detection and treatment[3].
- Community Initiatives: It engages in community events, health fairs, and collaborations with artists and businesses to raise awareness about ovarian cancer. Notable projects include the girlpARTs sculpture initiative, which highlights the genetic connections between ovarian and other cancers[1].
- Survivor Support: The organization supports survivors by providing them with resources, connecting them with others who have experienced similar challenges, and helping them navigate their survivorship journey[3].
Financial Overview
Financially, the organization relies heavily on contributions, which constitute the majority of its revenue. As of recent filings, it has no liabilities and operates with a substantial amount of assets dedicated to its charitable work[2].
Leadership and Governance
The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative is led by a dedicated board of directors. Jodie Kavensky serves as the President and CEO, while other key positions are held by individuals from various backgrounds in healthcare, education, and business[4].

Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day 🦋🎗️Established in 2013 by a group of leaders from ovarian cancer advocacy organizations around the world, May 8 – World Ovarian Cancer Day, is the one day of the year we globally raise our voices in solidarity in the fight against ovarian cancer. This year in the United States it is estimated that over 20,000 women will receive a new ovarian cancer diagnosis. By 2050, projections indicate that 8 million lives will be lost to ovarian cancer. Without a screening or early detection test, we must all come together to raise awareness about the disease. NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative is poised to just this - to raise awareness in communities, connect with patients in the midst of their journey, support survivors, and continue to make a difference in the lives around us. Feel free to repost this to your page to help spread awareness, or make a post of your own and tag us - we would love to support your efforts! Today is also a great time to honor someone you love who has been or is on a cancer journey by visiting: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/generalgiving (fb)

About the organization

What you dont know about ovarian cancer can kill you. Knowledge may just be your strongest weapon. There are no screening tests or widelyused early detection tests for ovarian cancer. With 30 different types of ovarian cancer it is challenging to detect and difficult to treat.
